Hey, don't knock SAP.
They've got the best Random Function Distributor that I've ever seen used for a UI.

I would say the whole UI is a rand crap generator.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Old woman lives round the corner from me often walks a couple of cats round the block late at night. Has at least one other that doesn't leave the house.
Police forensics went in to remove her body this morning. Been there at least two weeks.
One can't help wondering how much of her the cats had left.

A cat needs about 6 ounces a day. How many cats did she have?

At least three, but I believe there were a few more cat carriers being carried out of there this morning.

I'm happy to say that our cat wouldn't eat us -- if you give him the same food more then twice in a row, he turns his nose up at it.

Poor old lady, shame no one had contact with her for that long, kids or friends. R.I.P.

Dunno if she had any of either, was found by mobile hairdresser turning up for appointment.

I think the cats probably did it!

It depends. If the toilet seat was opened they would had some chance as the water source is there. But two weeks without food is a challenge even for a human. Such small animal will probably starve to dead.

I think the point of the post is they wouldn't have starved to death as they had a big lump of fresh meat there to feast on.

I hear stories like this from time to time, and they always leave me thinking about H. P. Lovecraft's short story, The Cats of Ulthar[^]

You may, or may not agree with me, but I do feel that the decision of Popular Science to shut off comments[^] is the right one to take. Thoughts/comments?
|

I think I disagree: I can see what they are saying, but the lack of adverse comments - or pointing out an alternative - strikes me as against the whole idea of science.
OK, you get morons who post abuse, but WTF: moderate them as we do to reduce or remove their impact and dump them off the site. Shutting down all discussion is pretty much what some of the morons want, I suspect...

It dosnt look like they are completely shutting it off (last paragraph):
Quote: There are plenty of other ways to talk back to us, and to each other: through Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, livechats, email, and more. We also plan to open the comments section on select articles that lend themselves to vigorous and intelligent discussion. We hope you'll chime in with your brightest thoughts. Don't do it for us. Do it for science.
So im not quite sure about this, but I know that some of the Norwegian news sites have partially shut down comments on potensially "harmful" articles.

Except of course that means that they are the ones that get to decide what articles "lend themselves to vigorous and intelligent discussion.". The other venues of course are transitory and/or not public and thus do not lend themselves to as much feedback.

Is the comment section of a web site the best place for a civil and unlighted debate on scientific issues ?
Even trivial scientific/technology discussions turn into a cesspool of spambot, trolls, bullies and stupid and insulting comments.
I'd rather be phishing!

So moderate it. If you have to, do what some sites do and moderate all messages before publication.
Burning all letters unopened because you don't want your wife to see the credit card bill is hardly the ideal solution!

Who will moderate the moderators?

There is no right which does not have a negative side.
And not to mention of course is the fact that this is Popular Science which is specifically targeting the mass market.
